6.4 Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices
with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information within a distance
of about 10 meters without requiring a physical connection. You can even
beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it is within the
Bluetooth signal coverage range.
Bluetooth can be used in the following ways:
Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact
cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.
Synchronize information between your device and computer via
Bluetooth.
Use a Bluetooth-enabled headset (or other Bluetooth-enabled hands-
free device such as a car kit) with your device for hands-free phone
conversations.
Use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect to another device or
computer using Bluetooth, you can locate and use any of the services
available on that device.
Create a connection between your device and another Bluetooth-
enabled phone to use that phone as a modem.
Note Normally, you will need another phone as a modem only if your Pocket PC
device has no integrated phone capability.
Bluetooth modes
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-
enabled devices, but not vice versa.
Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send
nor receive information using Bluetooth. You might want to turn
Bluetooth off at times in order to conserve battery power, or in
situations where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on
board an aircraft and in hospitals.
Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled
devices can detect your device.
